/><hr /><h2>Detailed Description</h2><p>The QSqlQuery class provides a means of executing and
manipulating SQL statements.</p>
<p>QSqlQuery encapsulates the functionality involved in creating,
navigating and retrieving data from SQL queries which are executed
on a <a href="qsqldatabase.html">QSqlDatabase</a>. It can be used
to execute DML (data manipulation language) statements, such as
<tt>SELECT</tt>, <tt>INSERT</tt>, <tt>UPDATE</tt> and
<tt>DELETE</tt>, as well as DDL (data definition language)
statements, such as <tt>CREATE</tt> <tt>TABLE</tt>. It can also be
used to execute database-specific commands which are not standard
SQL (e.g. <tt>SET DATESTYLE=ISO</tt> for PostgreSQL).</p>
<p>Successfully executed SQL statements set the query's state to
active so that <a href="qsqlquery.html#isActive">isActive</a>()
returns true. Otherwise the query's state is set to inactive. In
either case, when executing a new SQL statement, the query is
positioned on an invalid record. An active query must be navigated
to a valid record (so that <a href="qsqlquery.html#isValid">isValid</a>() returns true) before values
can be retrieved.</p>
<p>For some databases, if an active query that is a <tt>SELECT</tt>
statement exists when you call <a href="qsqldatabase.html#commit">commit()</a> or <a href="qsqldatabase.html#rollback">rollback()</a>, the commit or rollback
will fail. See <a href="qsqlquery.html#isActive">isActive</a>() for
details.</p>
<a id="qsqlquery-examples" name="qsqlquery-examples" />
<p>Navigating records is performed with the following
functions:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="qsqlquery.html#next">next</a>()</li>
<li><a href="qsqlquery.html#previous">previous</a>()</li>
<li><a href="qsqlquery.html#first">first</a>()</li>
<li><a href="qsqlquery.html#last">last</a>()</li>
<li><a href="qsqlquery.html#seek">seek</a>()</li>
</ul>
<p>These functions allow the programmer to move forward, backward
or arbitrarily through the records returned by the query. If you
only need to move forward through the results (e.g., by using
<a href="qsqlquery.html#next">next</a>()), you can use <a href="qsqlquery.html#setForwardOnly">setForwardOnly</a>(), which will
save a significant amount of memory overhead and improve
performance on some databases. Once an active query is positioned
on a valid record, data can be retrieved using <a href="qsqlquery.html#value">value</a>(). All data is transferred from
the SQL backend using QVariants.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
     <span class="type">QSqlQuery</span> query(<span class="string">"SELECT country FROM artist"</span>);
     <span class="keyword">while</span> (query<span class="operator">.</span>next()) {
         <span class="type"><a href="qstring.html">QString</a></span> country <span class="operator">=</span> query<span class="operator">.</span>value(<span class="number">0</span>)<span class="operator">.</span>toString();
         doSomething(country);
     }
</pre>
<p>To access the data returned by a query, use value(int). Each
field in the data returned by a <tt>SELECT</tt> statement is
accessed by passing the field's position in the statement, starting
from 0. This makes using <tt>SELECT *</tt> queries inadvisable
because the order of the fields returned is indeterminate.</p>
<p>For the sake of efficiency, there are no functions to access a
field by name (unless you use prepared queries with names, as
explained below). To convert a field name into an index, use
<a href="qsqlquery.html#record">record</a>().<a href="qsqlrecord.html#indexOf">indexOf()</a>, for example:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
     <span class="type">QSqlQuery</span> query(<span class="string">"SELECT * FROM artist"</span>);
     <span class="type">int</span> fieldNo <span class="operator">=</span> query<span class="operator">.</span>record()<span class="operator">.</span>indexOf(<span class="string">"country"</span>);
     <span class="keyword">while</span> (query<span class="operator">.</span>next()) {
         <span class="type"><a href="qstring.html">QString</a></span> country <span class="operator">=</span> query<span class="operator">.</span>value(fieldNo)<span class="operator">.</span>toString();
         doSomething(country);
     }
</pre>
<p>QSqlQuery supports prepared query execution and the binding of
parameter values to placeholders. Some databases don't support
these features, so for those, Qt emulates the required
functionality. For example, the Oracle and ODBC drivers have proper
prepared query support, and Qt makes use of it; but for databases
that don't have this support, Qt implements the feature itself,
e.g. by replacing placeholders with actual values when a query is
executed. Use <a href="qsqlquery.html#numRowsAffected">numRowsAffected</a>() to find out
how many rows were affected by a non-<tt>SELECT</tt> query, and
<a href="qsqlquery.html#size">size</a>() to find how many were
retrieved by a <tt>SELECT</tt>.</p>
<p>Oracle databases identify placeholders by using a colon-name
syntax, e.g <tt>:name</tt>. ODBC simply uses <tt>?</tt> characters.
Qt supports both syntaxes, with the restriction that you can't mix
them in the same query.</p>
<p>You can retrieve the values of all the fields in a single
variable (a map) using <a href="qsqlquery.html#boundValues">boundValues</a>().</p>

<h3>Approaches to Binding Values</h3>
<p>Below we present the same example using each of the four
different binding approaches, as well as one example of binding
values to a stored procedure.</p>
<p><b>Named binding using named placeholders:</b></p>
<pre class="cpp">
     <span class="type">QSqlQuery</span> query;
     query<span class="operator">.</span>prepare(<span class="string">"INSERT INTO person (id, forename, surname) "</span>
                   <span class="string">"VALUES (:id, :forename, :surname)"</span>);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>bindValue(<span class="string">":id"</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">1001</span>);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>bindValue(<span class="string">":forename"</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="string">"Bart"</span>);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>bindValue(<span class="string">":surname"</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="string">"Simpson"</span>);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>exec();
</pre>
<p><b>Positional binding using named placeholders:</b></p>
<pre class="cpp">
     <span class="type">QSqlQuery</span> query;
     query<span class="operator">.</span>prepare(<span class="string">"INSERT INTO person (id, forename, surname) "</span>
                   <span class="string">"VALUES (:id, :forename, :surname)"</span>);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>bindValue(<span class="number">0</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">1001</span>);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>bindValue(<span class="number">1</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="string">"Bart"</span>);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>bindValue(<span class="number">2</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="string">"Simpson"</span>);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>exec();
</pre>
<p><b>Binding values using positional placeholders (version
1):</b></p>
<pre class="cpp">
     <span class="type">QSqlQuery</span> query;
     query<span class="operator">.</span>prepare(<span class="string">"INSERT INTO person (id, forename, surname) "</span>
                   <span class="string">"VALUES (?, ?, ?)"</span>);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>bindValue(<span class="number">0</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">1001</span>);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>bindValue(<span class="number">1</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="string">"Bart"</span>);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>bindValue(<span class="number">2</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="string">"Simpson"</span>);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>exec();
</pre>
<p><b>Binding values using positional placeholders (version
2):</b></p>
<pre class="cpp">
     <span class="type">QSqlQuery</span> query;
     query<span class="operator">.</span>prepare(<span class="string">"INSERT INTO person (id, forename, surname) "</span>
                   <span class="string">"VALUES (?, ?, ?)"</span>);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>addBindValue(<span class="number">1001</span>);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>addBindValue(<span class="string">"Bart"</span>);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>addBindValue(<span class="string">"Simpson"</span>);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>exec();
</pre>
<p><b>Binding values to a stored procedure:</b></p>
<p>This code calls a stored procedure called <tt>AsciiToInt()</tt>,
passing it a character through its in parameter, and taking its
result in the out parameter.</p>
<pre class="cpp">
     <span class="type">QSqlQuery</span> query;
     query<span class="operator">.</span>prepare(<span class="string">"CALL AsciiToInt(?, ?)"</span>);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>bindValue(<span class="number">0</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="string">"A"</span>);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>bindValue(<span class="number">1</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">0</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="type"><a href="qsql.html">QSql</a></span><span class="operator">.</span>Out);
     query<span class="operator">.</span>exec();
     <span class="type">int</span> i <span class="operator">=</span> query<span class="operator">.</span>boundValue(<span class="number">1</span>)<span class="operator">.</span>toInt(); <span class="comment">// i is 65</span>
</pre>
<p>Note that unbound parameters will retain their values.</p>
<p>Stored procedures that uses the return statement to return
values, or return multiple result sets, are not fully supported.
For specific details see <a href="sql-driver.html">SQL Database
Drivers</a>.</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> You must load the SQL driver and open the
connection before a QSqlQuery is created. Also, the connection must
remain open while the query exists; otherwise, the behavior of
QSqlQuery is undefined.</p>

<p>The example above inserts four new rows into

 <span class="number">1</span>  Harald
 <span class="number">2</span>  Boris
 <span class="number">3</span>  Trond
 <span class="number">4</span>  NULL
</pre>
<p>To bind NULL values, a null <a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a>
of the relevant type has to be added to the bound <a href="qvariant.html#QVariantList-typedef">QVariantList</a>; for example,
<tt>QVariant(QVariant.String)</tt> should be used if you are using
strings.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> Every bound <a href="qvariant.html#QVariantList-typedef">QVariantList</a> must contain
the same amount of variants.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> The type of the QVariants in a list must not
change. For example, you cannot mix integer and string variants
within a <a href="qvariant.html#QVariantList-typedef">QVariantList</a>.</p>
<p>The <i>mode</i> parameter indicates how the bound <a href="qvariant.html#QVariantList-typedef">QVariantList</a> will be
interpreted. If <i>mode</i> is <tt>ValuesAsRows</tt>, every variant
within the <a href="qvariant.html#QVariantList-typedef">QVariantList</a> will be
interpreted as a value for a new row. <tt>ValuesAsColumns</tt> is a
special case for the Oracle driver. In this mode, every entry
within a <a href="qvariant.html#QVariantList-typedef">QVariantList</a> will be
interpreted as array-value for an IN or OUT value within a stored
procedure. Note that this will only work if the IN or OUT value is
a table-type consisting of only one column of a basic type, for
example <tt>TYPE myType IS TABLE OF VARCHAR(64) INDEX BY
BINARY_INTEGER;</tt></p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="executedQuery" />QString QSqlQuery.executedQuery (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the last query that was successfully executed.</p>
<p>In most cases this function returns the same string as <a href="qsqlquery.html#lastQuery">lastQuery</a>(). If a prepared query
with placeholders is executed on a DBMS that does not support it,
the preparation of this query is emulated. The placeholders in the
original query are replaced with their bound values to form a new
query. This function returns the modified query. It is mostly
useful for debugging purposes.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qsqlquery.html#lastQuery">lastQuery</a>().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="finish" />QSqlQuery.finish (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Instruct the database driver that no more data will be fetched
from this query until it is re-executed. There is normally no need
to call this function, but it may be helpful in order to free
resources such as locks or cursors if you intend to re-use the

<h3 class="fn"><a name="first" />bool QSqlQuery.first (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Retrieves the first record in the result, if available, and
positions the query on the retrieved record. Note that the result
must be in the <a href="qsqlquery.html#isActive">active</a> state
and <a href="qsqlquery.html#isSelect">isSelect</a>() must return
true before calling this function or it will do nothing and return

<h3 class="fn"><a name="isActive" />bool QSqlQuery.isActive (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns true if the query is <i>active</i>. An active <a href="qsqlquery.html">QSqlQuery</a> is one that has been <a href="qsqlquery.html#exec">exec()'d</a> successfully but not yet
finished with. When you are finished with an active query, you can
make make the query inactive by calling <a href="qsqlquery.html#finish">finish</a>() or <a href="qsqlquery.html#clear">clear</a>(), or you can delete the <a href="qsqlquery.html">QSqlQuery</a> instance.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> Of particular interest is an active query that is a
<tt>SELECT</tt> statement. For some databases that support
transactions, an active query that is a <tt>SELECT</tt> statement
can cause a <a href="qsqldatabase.html#commit">commit()</a> or a
<a href="qsqldatabase.html#rollback">rollback()</a> to fail, so
before committing or rolling back, you should make your active

record; otherwise returns false.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="last" />bool QSqlQuery.last (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Retrieves the last record in the result, if available, and
positions the query on the retrieved record. Note that the result
must be in the <a href="qsqlquery.html#isActive">active</a> state
and <a href="qsqlquery.html#isSelect">isSelect</a>() must return
true before calling this function or it will do nothing and return
false. Returns true if successful. If unsuccessful the query

<h3 class="fn"><a name="lastInsertId" />QVariant QSqlQuery.lastInsertId (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the object ID of the most recent inserted row if the
database supports it. An invalid <a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a> will be returned if the query did not
insert any value or if the database does not report the id back. If
more than one row was touched by the insert, the behavior is
undefined.</p>
<p>For MySQL databases the row's auto-increment field will be
returned.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> For this function to work in PSQL, the table table
must contain OIDs, which may not have been created by default.

<h3 class="fn"><a name="lastQuery" />QString QSqlQuery.lastQuery (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the text of the current query being used, or an empty
string if there is no current query text.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qsqlquery.html#executedQuery">executedQuery</a>().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="next" />bool QSqlQuery.next (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Retrieves the next record in the result, if available, and
positions the query on the retrieved record. Note that the result
must be in the <a href="qsqlquery.html#isActive">active</a> state
and <a href="qsqlquery.html#isSelect">isSelect</a>() must return
true before calling this function or it will do nothing and return
false.</p>
<p>The following rules apply:</p>
<ul>
<li>If the result is currently located before the first record,
e.g. immediately after a query is executed, an attempt is made to
retrieve the first record.</li>
<li>If the result is currently located after the last record, there
is no change and false is returned.</li>
<li>If the result is located somewhere in the middle, an attempt is
made to retrieve the next record.</li>
</ul>
<p>If the record could not be retrieved, the result is positioned
after the last record and false is returned. If the record is
successfully retrieved, true is returned.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="nextResult" />bool QSqlQuery.nextResult (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Discards the current result set and navigates to the next if
available.</p>
<p>Some databases are capable of returning multiple result sets for
stored procedures or SQL batches (a query strings that contains
multiple statements). If multiple result sets are available after
executing a query this function can be used to navigate to the next
result set(s).</p>
<p>If a new result set is available this function will return true.
The query will be repositioned on an <i>invalid</i> record in the
new result set and must be navigated to a valid record before data
values can be retrieved. If a new result set isn't available the
function returns false and the query is set to inactive. In any
case the old result set will be discarded.</p>
<p>When one of the statements is a non-select statement a count of
affected rows may be available instead of a result set.</p>
<p>Note that some databases, i.e. Microsoft SQL Server, requires
non-scrollable cursors when working with multiple result sets. Some
databases may execute all statements at once while others may delay
the execution until the result set is actually accessed, and some
databases may have restrictions on which statements are allowed to
be used in a SQL batch.</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.</p>

and <a href="qsqlquery.html#setNumericalPrecisionPolicy">setNumericalPrecisionPolicy</a>().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="numRowsAffected" />int QSqlQuery.numRowsAffected (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the number of rows affected by the result's SQL
statement, or -1 if it cannot be determined. Note that for
<tt>SELECT</tt> statements, the value is undefined; use <a href="qsqlquery.html#size">size</a>() instead. If the query is not
<a href="qsqlquery.html#isActive">active</a>, -1 is returned.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qsqlquery.html#size">size</a>() and
<a href="qsqldriver.html#hasFeature">QSqlDriver.hasFeature</a>().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="prepare" />bool QSqlQuery.prepare (<i>self</i>, QString&#160;<i>query</i>)</h3><p>Prepares the SQL query <i>query</i> for execution. Returns true
if the query is prepared successfully; otherwise returns false.</p>
<p>The query may contain placeholders for binding values. Both
Oracle style colon-name (e.g., <tt>:surname</tt>), and ODBC style
(<tt>?</tt>) placeholders are supported; but they cannot be mixed
in the same query. See the <a href="qsqlquery.html#qsqlquery-examples">Detailed Description</a> for
examples.</p>
<p>Portability note: Some databases choose to delay preparing a
query until it is executed the first time. In this case, preparing
a syntactically wrong query succeeds, but every consecutive
<a href="qsqlquery.html#exec">exec_</a>() will fail.</p>
<p>For SQLite, the query string can contain only one statement at a
time. If more than one statements are give, the function returns
false.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="previous" />bool QSqlQuery.previous (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Retrieves the previous record in the result, if available, and
positions the query on the retrieved record. Note that the result
must be in the <a href="qsqlquery.html#isActive">active</a> state
and <a href="qsqlquery.html#isSelect">isSelect</a>() must return
true before calling this function or it will do nothing and return
false.</p>
<p>The following rules apply:</p>
<ul>
<li>If the result is currently located before the first record,
there is no change and false is returned.</li>
<li>If the result is currently located after the last record, an
attempt is made to retrieve the last record.</li>
<li>If the result is somewhere in the middle, an attempt is made to

<h3 class="fn"><a name="record" /><a href="qsqlrecord.html">QSqlRecord</a> QSqlQuery.record (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns a <a href="qsqlrecord.html">QSqlRecord</a> containing
the field information for the current query. If the query points to

<p>If <i>relative</i> is false (the default), the following rules
apply:</p>
<ul>
<li>If <i>index</i> is negative, the result is positioned before
the first record and false is returned.</li>
<li>Otherwise, an attempt is made to move to the record at position
<i>index</i>. If the record at position <i>index</i> could not be
retrieved, the result is positioned after the last record and false
is returned. If the record is successfully retrieved, true is
returned.</li>
</ul>
<p>If <i>relative</i> is true, the following rules apply:</p>
<ul>
<li>If the result is currently positioned before the first record
or on the first record, and <i>index</i> is negative, there is no
change, and false is returned.</li>
<li>If the result is currently located after the last record, and
<i>index</i> is positive, there is no change, and false is
returned.</li>
<li>If the result is currently located somewhere in the middle, and
the relative offset <i>index</i> moves the result below zero, the
result is positioned before the first record and false is
returned.</li>
<li>Otherwise, an attempt is made to move to the record
<i>index</i> records ahead of the current record (or <i>index</i>
records behind the current record if <i>index</i> is negative). If
the record at offset <i>index</i> could not be retrieved, the
result is positioned after the last record if <i>index</i> &gt;= 0,
(or before the first record if <i>index</i> is negative), and false
is returned. If the record is successfully retrieved, true is
returned.</li>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setForwardOnly" />QSqlQuery.setForwardOnly (<i>self</i>, bool&#160;<i>forward</i>)</h3><p>Sets forward only mode to <i>forward</i>. If <i>forward</i> is
true, only <a href="qsqlquery.html#next">next</a>() and <a href="qsqlquery.html#seek">seek</a>() with positive values, are allowed
for navigating the results.</p>
<p>Forward only mode can be (depending on the driver) more memory
efficient since results do not need to be cached. It will also
improve performance on some databases. For this to be true, you
must call <tt>setForwardOnly()</tt> before the query is prepared or
executed. Note that the constructor that takes a query and a
database may execute the query.</p>
<p>Forward only mode is off by default.</p>
<p>Setting forward only to false is a suggestion to the database
engine, which has the final say on whether a result set is forward
only or scrollable. <a href="qsqlquery.html#isForwardOnly">isForwardOnly</a>() will always
return the correct status of the result set.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> Calling setForwardOnly after execution of the query
will result in unexpected results at best, and crashes at
worst.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setNumericalPrecisionPolicy" />QSqlQuery.setNumericalPrecisionPolicy (<i>self</i>, <a href="qsql.html#NumericalPrecisionPolicy-enum">QSql.NumericalPrecisionPolicy</a>&#160;<i>precisionPolicy</i>)</h3><p>Instruct the database driver to return numerical values with a
precision specified by <i>precisionPolicy</i>.</p>
<p>The Oracle driver, for example, can retrieve numerical values as
strings to prevent the loss of precision. If high precision doesn't
matter, use this method to increase execution speed by bypassing
string conversions.</p>
<p>Note: Drivers that don't support fetching numerical values with
low precision will ignore the precision policy. You can use
<a href="qsqldriver.html#hasFeature">QSqlDriver.hasFeature</a>()
to find out whether a driver supports this feature.</p>
<p>Note: Setting the precision policy doesn't affect the currently
active query. Call <a href="qsqlquery.html#exec">exec_</a>(<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>) or <a href="qsqlquery.html#prepare">prepare</a>() in order to activate the
policy.</p>

and <a href="qsqlquery.html#numericalPrecisionPolicy">numericalPrecisionPolicy</a>().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="size" />int QSqlQuery.size (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the size of the result (number of rows returned), or -1
if the size cannot be determined or if the database does not
support reporting information about query sizes. Note that for
non-<tt>SELECT</tt> statements (<a href="qsqlquery.html#isSelect">isSelect</a>() returns false), size()
will return -1. If the query is not active (<a href="qsqlquery.html#isActive">isActive</a>() returns false), -1 is
returned.</p>
<p>To determine the number of rows affected by a
non-<tt>SELECT</tt> statement, use <a href="qsqlquery.html#numRowsAffected">numRowsAffected</a>().</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qsqlquery.html#isActive">isActive</a>(), <a href="qsqlquery.html#numRowsAffected">numRowsAffected</a>(), and
<a href="qsqldriver.html#hasFeature">QSqlDriver.hasFeature</a>().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="value" />QVariant QSqlQuery.value (<i>self</i>, int&#160;<i>i</i>)</h3><p>Returns the value of field <i>index</i> in the current
record.</p>
<p>The fields are numbered from left to right using the text of the
<tt>SELECT</tt> statement, e.g. in</p>
<pre class="cpp">
 SELECT forename<span class="operator">,</span> surname FROM people;
</pre>
<p>field 0 is <tt>forename</tt> and field 1 is <tt>surname</tt>.
Using <tt>SELECT *</tt> is not recommended because the order of the
fields in the query is undefined.</p>
<p>An invalid <a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a> is returned if
field <i>index</i> does not exist, if the query is inactive, or if
the query is positioned on an invalid record.</p>
